Chemical Formula: Mg(NO?)?·6H?O (commonly supplied as hexahydrate)
Molecular Weight: 256.41 g/mol (hexahydrate)

Magnesium Nitrate (98%) is a white crystalline, highly soluble inorganic compound typically supplied as the hexahydrate. It is a reliable source of magnesium (Mg²?) and nitrate (NO??) ions and is valued for its excellent solubility, low impurity levels, and uniform composition. This product finds wide application in fertilizers, pyrotechnics, catalysts, and chemical synthesis, and offers good shelf stability when stored in dry, sealed conditions.

Applications

Agriculture / Horticulture:
Used as a water-soluble fertilizer providing readily available magnesium and nitrogen for crops, hydroponic systems, and foliar sprays.

Chemical Industry:
Employed as a raw material in the production of catalysts, specialty magnesium salts, and in nitration processes.

Explosives & Pyrotechnics:
Used as an oxidizing component in pyrotechnic compositions and propellants (handled under controlled conditions).

Ceramics & Glass:
Acts as a flux and colorant in glassmaking and ceramic glaze formulations.

Laboratory & Analytical Use:
Serves as a reagent in analytical chemistry and laboratory-scale synthesis.
